A correspondent of a London paper says: "I met recently with a translation into English of the name of the vil lage in Anglesey which boasts the longest name in the United Kingdom. I send you a copy below, thinking it may interest your readers: 'Llan-fair-pwllgwyn - gyll - y-Church Mary a hollow white nazei near to the chwyrn - drobwll - Lian - Disilio - gogogoch rapid whirlpool church (saint's name) cave red' - that is, the Church of St Mary in a hollow of white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool, and to St. Disilio church near to a red cave."
